    tasks

    we
  • Decide to buy something because we like it
  • Refrain from telling someone something which we
    feel may upset them

    the work environment

Judging - Perceiving
  • We are using Judging when we

    advantages and disadvantages to each
  • Every strength, when pushed far enough, becomes a
    liability
  • There are no pure styles but one is usually
    preferred
  • Behavior style does not explain the whole person
    only defines perceived pattern
  • Much of the population is different than you in
    communication, use of time, relating to others,
    making decisions, managing conflict
